**★★★★★ Dokumentarista — 2 weeks ago

A journey through the Golden Age of Discovery. ​I was absolutely thrilled by the exhibits here. The museum does an incredible job of preserving the maritime heritage of Portugal. ​The highlight for me was the fascinating map displaying the sea routes discovered by the great Portuguese navigators. Seeing the visual representation of how these explorers connected the continents is truly humbling and educational. It perfectly captures the scale of their achievements. ​From the detailed ship models

**★★★★★ Dmitry Roizin — 2 months ago

Great museum with an excellent exhibition on the history of Portuguese seafaring. Very engaging, full of interesting details and curiosities, and just the right duration for a visit. Inspiring and well worth seeing.

**★★★★★ Dmitriy A — 2 months ago

Really enjoyed the Maritime Museum — a great place to explore Portugal’s deep connection to the sea. The exhibits are well organized, with beautiful ship models, navigation instruments, and artifacts from the Age of Discoveries. The highlight is the large hall with full-size royal barges and historic boats — truly impressive and worth the visit on its own.

The museum is spacious, calm, and easy to walk through. It’s a perfect stop if you’re already visiting the Jerónimos Monastery next door. A

**★★★★★ Daniel I — 3 months ago

Very nice museum to learn about the rich naval history of Portugal. It’s very well maintained, and the exhibits are explained in both Portuguese and English. We loved it, including my 11-year-old. What surprised us even more was that the entrance was free, maybe it was just that day, I’m not sure. Another great thing is that it’s not overcrowded like most other Lisbon attractions.

It’s a must-visit, unless you really don’t like museums.

**★★★☆☆ Helena L — a month ago

I felt ambivalent visiting this museum. On the one hand, it's full of interesting materials including a lot of ship models and replicas of maps, instruments, etc. On the other hand, the way in which things are contextualized is very much white washing. There's almost no acknowledgement of Portugal's role in pioneering the transatlantic slave trade or the violent colonization of parts of Africa and Asia. The overall impression you get is a single-minded celebration of Portugal as a nation/kingdo
